All travel funds not e tended

On Sept 25, 2019, I purchased a ticket to fly to San Juan from BWI for a cruise. The return was April 5. The cost was $550. My family members decided to return on April 6. I went on line and changed my reservation. The price was $102.00 less and I was given travel funds on September 26. On February 28h, I noticed a price drop and contacted SW. I was given $70.40 travel funds. My cruise was cancelled in March and I cancelled my flight in March and was given $383 in travel funds. My travel funds now total $550.40With the new change, I would have thought my travel funds would be extended to June 2021. No so. The only funds extended are $383. The other $172.40 expires on September 25. Since I am unable to book the cruise u til next year and in the highest possibility for the virus, I will now lose the $172 . I will be booking the same flight for a cruise next year and will now have to pay more for it. SW had use of my $550 for 6  months. They did not give me money back and now don’t want to give me my credits.

Hello,

 

If you cancelled your flight after March 1, the travel funds should have an expiration date of June 30, 2021 - this change is not automatic in the system and it may take a little while for your funds to reflect the new expiration.
